This defense is discouraging

[RonWashington]

I realize the offense has a set of problems starting at the top but some recent draft capital spent on the OL and WR TE has some level of competitiveness at least under the right circumstances ( coaching )

You look at the D and to put it mildly when it needs a stop it can’t get one . You look up at the scoreboard early in the second your down double digits often .

No question the DL needs help next April . A possible hope from today maybe Carl Lawson can hang on be in camp in 2025 , don’t think Dallas will see DLaw again . And Kneeland should be back . Of course Parsons the Fred Dean prototype .

The DT to put it mildly is a mess. I don’t think OSA Is a second contract DT and Mazi let’s not even discuss .

One position I thought Dallas had some numbers was DB but goodness QB’s are completing passes at will at anyone not named Diggs . This DB spot and I know Bland is coming back seems like a smoldering fire that’s going to have to get addressed again .

Defensive line has been a problem for several years, obviously Jerry doesn't care and is willing to live with not stopping the run. The rest of the D is just to banged up.

Did Mazi even play today?

He did

 

[Aven8]

The D did enough today and last week to win the game. The offense is a freaking train wreck!

 

[RonWashington]

Caelon Carson I don’t believe has broken up a pass this season . Amani O # 27 the PS pick up from the Lions looked decent until he went IR . Diggs gimpy Bland coming back from injury then Lewis . I don’t see how you avoid drafting a CB next April

Outside of our Kicker and Punter our whole team is discouraging

 

[jblaze2004]

Caelon Carson has been pretty meh. Often picked on and for good reason. I believe he may be a zone corner. Too slow for man. He ran a 4.52 in his pro day. Which means at the combine he probably would have ran a high 4.5 or low 4.6. He is probably better off moving to free safety or a zone scheme.

build the lines this next season and then the rest the next season

He did

How could you tell?

When you need a stop get the ball back the D can’t get off the field . Even when DLaw and Parsons were playing the Saints ( 2-6 ) the Ravens Lions SF pretty much did what they wanted .

The defense has a pretty legitimate excuse. The offense…not so much. Way more disappointed in the offense than the defense. Entire team minus special teams is bad.

 

[RonWashington]

How could you tell?

I know . OSA is in his contact yr in 25 he’s nothing special either . The DT position is a disaster .

They got off the field last week and gave it back to Dak and he couldn’t get a yard. We had multiple opportunities today and Lamb dropped the ball in the end zone and Turp couldn’t catch a ball right in his hands as well.

Mind you I think they are horrible, but the offense is the reason this team sucks

Yes the offense has received its share of draft picks and bomb contracts .

You aren’t going on deep playoff runs with a defense that can’t stop the run can’t cover receivers .

 

[RonWashington]

Mahomes has been ordinary this year but the Chiefs defense has been the hammer

 

[Aven8]

Oh I agree. But our offense is a hot mess.

This team is the perfect reflection of its owner and family

 

[RonWashington]

Is Liufau a victim of Zimmer selling out to stop the run against SF & Atl . He won’t get better watching from the sidelines .
